That combo was sick.

Also that was a good Sheik, it seemed as though it had a good grasp on the spacing of Sheik + the varied usage of FTilt

Anyone who claims Japanese players don't camp and play with "honor" need to watch this Snake vid.

Wow, that's an interesting Shiek, nice find NJ. I really need to start going for the footstools instead of just capitalising when I occasionally get one.

And jeez, I thought I abused F Tilt.

the double utilt in the first match got me happy. i knew that move had a ton of potential

it was cool seeing a defensive sheik against snake in that second match

Impressive.... I wish we could get in contact with a few of the Japaneses Sheik players. They seem to have a good understanding of sheik and it makes me wonder sometimes if they maybe even more advance then we are with using her.

...and I'm basing this purely on seeing those videos and the Japanese guy who made all those Sheik videos.

Oh, I forgot to mention. That Sheik player was being horribly inefficient with meaningless needle cancels, as you'll notice he did several split-second charges and then threw.... one needle. Be sure to charge for at least TWO cycles (audio cues) to actually get any helpful amount of needle charging in.

I can finally do this stupid footstool stuff consistently vs CPUs in Training

I'll have results of my attempts in the form of vids sometime...they'll probably turn up sometime next week, count on it.

Oh that was him actually playing? I thought he was just trying to get the ftilt combo for the entire video...

Lol, I'm not gonna "spam" anymore.

However, I've gotten good enough at fast posting that you'll still see my post count skyrocket. It's become a habit to post quickly now.

Hey, Chok is back! Gonna miss the spam, but still glad to see the flash posting.

Anyway, the Sheik in this vid is pretty good. Had great spacing. A different style of play, but still good.

My actual alignments are closer to shadows and wind, but that's not nearly as silly or relevant.

Look at sheik's animations and tell me she's not supposed to be flashy... she f***ing breakdances as a downsmash. needles also outcamp grenades, so yes that was pretty good
